Dr. Malcolm Burr’s Revision of the Genus Diplatys. 39 
This is a rather large red-brown North Indian species. 
It is imperfectly known. The type,in the British Museum, 
is in poor condition. 
23. Diplatys fletcher, Burr 
Diplatys fletcheri, Burr, (19101) p. 52, fig. 8. 
Described and figured in (1910) from a pair taken at 
Madulsima, in Ceylon, by Mr. T. B. Fletcher. The head 
is typical, with tumid frons, depressed occiput, and long, 
straight, sharp keels. 
Type in my collection. 
24. Diplatys raffrayi, Dubr. 
Diplatys raffrayi, Dubr., (1879) p. 91; Borm., (19007) 
p. 9; Burr, (1904?) p. 279-282; Kirby, (1904) p. 1; 
Borelli, (1907) p. 346(?). 
Diplatys macrocephala, Kirby, (1904) p. 1 partim. 
This is an African species which somewhat resembles, 
and is doubtless often confused with, D. macrocephalus. 
Ihave found a specimen which is certainly the original 
type, in the Madrid Museum, labelled “ Raffray, Zanzibar.” 
It may be distinguished from D. macrocephalus, not by 
the colour, with which de Bormans was content, but by 
the slenderer and more hairy body, less inflated last dorsal 
segment, and depressed and regularly dilated forceps. 
I am inclined to doubt Borelli’s determination of a West 
African specimen, since the form is only known decidedly 
from Zanzibar. It probably replaces D. macrocephalus in 
Kast Africa. 
Type in Madrid Museum.
